I am LOVING the new nail polishes from Maybelline!! They're called Color Show Sequins, and they are SO cute! They're not just your regular glitter polishes, they've each got 3 different sized & shaped particles, so your nails actually look a little 3D I'm wearing my pink one (I also have the gold one) as a feature nail with my beloved white polish, but you could wear them alone...or as nail art. I'm thinking next time I'm going to try gold tips.

These babies are in store now, but only until January, as they're a limited edition line, so I NEED to go and get the silver and the blue, asap! Oh, and they're only $8.49- perfect!

This look was created to try out my new goodies from Blushbaby- I got a palette from theBalm, Nude 'Tude. I am currently seeing this as the more affordable and accessible version of the Naked palettes...big call, I know. But truly, the shades are gorgeous, a mixture of matte and shimmer, and so easy to blend. It'd be a REALLY good product for beginners to have...as well as more experienced MUO's.

One thing I really liked about these shadows is the high pigmentation, a little goes a long way, and the fact that I had ZERO drop down. I mean zero. This is my main gripe with other brands, I hate having to clean up excess. But no drama here!

I went fairly minimal with my other products, as I wanted the focus to be on the eyes- a wearable smokey eye for day.

I am a right mare when it comes to keeping my nail polish intact. Even before I had to zip around after a child, I'd dent/chip my nails in minutes. So when I heard about a polish that you can use at home that promises to stay put for 7+ days if you use it in conjunction with the top coat, I was down. And it WORKED. You guys know I don't review things I haven't tried myself, so I've been trialing CND Vinylux for the past week. The pic below speaks for itself, sweet results!! I tried Cream Puff, the cutest white shade, and I am already eyeing up Cake Pop...and Tropix...and Blackpool...aggghhh.Please ALSO bear in mind that my nails take a beating..as you can see from the pic, I need to keep them trimmed so I don't accidentally scratch my toddler. I have to take covers off sandpits, and separate wrestling children, and clean up...etc etc...so for my polish to actually stay in place was nothing short of a miracle, really.Remember this is a 2 step system...you put on 2 LIGHT coats of colour, and then the top coat. Voila. Perfect nails! I'm never wearing another brand again

I've tried so many sea salt sprays in my efforts to give my limp hair more life, but they generally get nudged to the back of my bathroom cupboard. They either don't give me the effect I want, or they make my hair feel hideous and sticky...not good.

BUT, this product from LUSH is really working for me! You can use it in myriad of ways, e.g. before or after blow drying/styling; when your hair is wet you can scrunch it in, or just work it through dry hair (which is what I do). It makes my hair full and tousled in that beachy way, and it even though it does contain a light gel for hold, my hair doesn't feel at all sticky. This is all due to it containing lovely, natural ingredients such as sea salt, sea water,and seaweed.

Aside from making my hair look great, it smells DIVINE!! Sea Spray has the most beautiful fragrance of grapefruit, orange flower, neroli and rosewood. These oils also help to tame any fly-aways and increase shine...yesss! All in all, the perfect product, it does everything! You can even use it for touch ups during the day if your hair needs a little boost.

You can buy this little gem at any Lush store or via their website at http://www.lushnz.com/, it's an extremely affordable buy for $13.90 for 100g. Go get some! You NEED it.

This is my favourite cleanser in the whole world. I can't believe I've finally found something that works for me, my skin is dry & sensitive, and this suits it perfectly! It removes all my makeup, gently exfoliates & moisturises, and smells divine- like rose & lavender. I LOVE it! You only need a tiny bit at a time, and once a week I like to use it as a face mask for a real treat.It's also truly affordable at $18.90NZD, I'll be using this forever!

Lush has recently released 9 amazing (and vegan!) perfumes, and I have to say, I'm obsessed! I couldn't choose just one, so I bought Furze (coconut/vanilla), Hellstone (earthy/dark chocolate) and Sikkim Girls (frangipani/jasmine). They're all so beautiful that it's hard to choose which to wear each day! They retail from $20, go try them! You will love.
